Got Conflict? Let's Talk Peacebuilding!
Got Conflict? Let’s Talk Peacebuilding is a podcast by the Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), a network of more than 225 organizations working globally in 181 countries to reduce and prevent violent conflict and build sustainable peace.
Got conflict? Of course we do! Because conflict is inevitable, but violent conflict is not. In this podcast, we discuss what is driving record-breaking global violent conflict, and more importantly, what we can do to prevent and reduce violent conflict and build sustainable peace—in our neighborhoods just down the street and in faraway places.

Making Peacebuilding a First-Order Issue: Learning From the Past and Applying it to the Future
How do we make peacebuilding a first-order issue? We know peacebuilding is the answer to conflict—so why do we, as a field, have such a hard time making that case to funders, policymakers, and the public?
In this episode of AfP’s Got Conflict? Let’s Talk Peacebuilding! podcast, AfP’s Executive Director, Liz Hume, sits down with John Marks, founder of Search for Common Ground, to answer these questions and discuss his new book, From Vision to Action: Remaking the World Through Social Entrepreneurship. In this far-reaching conversation, Marks explores the importance of long-term bridge building, Search’s work in Burundi, peacebuilding in the U.S., and the structural challenges to funding peacebuilding.
